Turriff Place Standard Conversation

Turriff and District Community Council is keen to ask the Turriff community about their priorities for Turriff as part of a Place Standard Conversation which is being funded by the Scottish Government.

The Scottish Government Place Standard tool provides a simple framework to structure conversations about your local area. It asks you to think about the physical elements of a place (for example its buildings, spaces, and transport links) as well as the social aspects (for example whether people feel they have a say in decision making).

The tool provides prompts for discussions, allowing you to consider all the elements of a place in a methodical way. The tool pinpoints the assets of a place as well as areas where a place could improve.

Scores for each question are collated and used to create a wheel graph like the example below.

The written answers to questions are taken, collated and used to create the output report and an action plan of local priorities for Turriff. This action plan can be used by the Community Council to help influence decisions being made by Aberdeenshire Council.

The survey which is available in English and Polish will be open until 5pm 21 April 2019 and should take about 25 minutes to complete.

All the information gathered from the online surveys, paper copies, events and conversations will be collated and an action plan will be created. A public event will be held to explain the information collected and the action plan.
